Contribution to PC IIA - REACH

ClientEarth's contribution to the REACH reform IIA emphasizes the need for stricter enforcement of existing rules, the fulfillment of Chemicals Strategy promises without further impact assessments, and the inclusion of specific criteria for PMT, vPvM, and EDC substances.

• ClientEarth argues that the current analysis of authorisation issues fails to address problems stemming from the incorrect interpretation of REACH, specifically citing the weak application of compliance tests, the acceptance of applications with significant data gaps, and the failure to require substitution plans when alternatives exist.
• The document asserts that measures already promised in the Chemicals Strategy—such as the introduction of a mixture assessment factor, audit capacity, and the ability for ECHA to revoke registration numbers—should be treated as mandatory deliverables rather than options to be considered in an impact assessment.
